Castle Casting Note: Justin Hartley to Date Hilarie Burton

With White Collar star Hilarie Burton already on board "An Embarrassment of Bitches," we can now confirm that former Smallville star Justin Hartley will also play a role on the ABC hit's 13th installment of the season. He'll portray the boyfriend of Burton's Kim Kardashian-type reality star.

Hartley is best known for playing Oliver throughout Smallville's long run on The CW. He most recently guest-starred on Chuck.

Castle, meanwhile, takes this Monday off and comes back with a new episode on December 5.

Thank you for the shoutouts for the Smallville actors. Justin Hartley's good-looking and I'm excited to see how his episode is going to go but Tom Welling is better looking. When that guy smiles, it's really something.

First of all I will do the shout out for Smallville actors.... "You rock!" It is good to see him cast for this part can't wait to see where this ends up going..

Yes! I like him. He's cute and pretty good as Green Arrow. Smallville actors needs a shoutout. Since Smallville ended, they haven't been seen lately. Erica Durance got an episode of Charlie's Angels. But where's Tom Welling? I love this. Thanks Castle, for casting good actors whose shows have ended or not as popular anymore.
